From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030611 Description of problem: gaim-0.64 has several flaws that can cause segfaults if using the MSN protocol. ChipX86 has fixed most of these crashes in CVS. http://www.togami.com/~warren/archive/2003/gaim-0.64-msncrashes.diff unidiff against gaim-0.64 manually applied http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=297 WORKSFORME, but still undergoing testing in Fedora Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gaim-0.64-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use MSN protocol, send or receive authorization requests for adding a MSN buddy. Actual Results: Crash
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=2606774&forum_id=33079 Fixes non-critical but annoying "MSN: Invalid User" warning box when you add and remove a MSN buddy. This patch is untested, but the previous patch works very well.
Procedure for reproducing Comment #1. 1. Apply first patch. 2. Use MSN protocol. 3. Add a few MSN buddies. 4. Remove those MSN buddies. 5. Close gaim, open gaim, login. 6. "MSN: Invalid User" warning boxes due to erroneous numbers in ~/.gaim/blist.xml
I retract Comment #1, the patch introduces a new crash that cannot be fixed without massive changes in 0.65 CVS. The original patch is good enough for now.
0.66 should be in rawhide shortly.
